Minimise the Carbon Footprint of your School uniform
School Uniform is no different to any other business activity in that it produces a carbon footprint.
Many direct to school suppliers transport your garments over large distances to embroiderers and printers scattered around the country before they ever reach you.
Essential Schoolwear’s policy from the outset has been the total control of the processing of your orders in one location.
- We order garments direct from the manufacturers.
- Embroidery, printing and packaging are carried out 'in house' at our schoolwear dedicated factory and warehouse.
- Orders dispatched direct to you.
The Effect
The efficient simplicity of this operation allows us to be more environmentally friendly, helps reduce our costs, and allows you to take advantage of the savings we make, by buying school uniform at factory despatched prices.

Don’t Take our Word for it

What Is Important To You When Deciding On School Uniform?
If it’s speed and reliability of deliveries, we embroider and print your uniform ‘in house’ and aim to deliver two weeks after receiving your order, even in the busy periods.
If it’s price, since 1995 we have been amongst the most competitive in the business, even though a good proportion of our garments are manufactured in this country.
